Katherine Sullivan: Francesco, Your vision for a learning institute is spot on. What makes us human is our ability to learn. My field is cognitive neuroscience. Cognitive neuroscience is the study of how the brain responds to experience. Psychology is the study of behavior. Behavior is what we observe. When we see people respond in anger, become progressively more depressed, act in certain ways that define a business or ethnic culture, these are examples of behaviors that have emerged from repetitive experiences over time. When the brain is exposed to internally generated or external exposures, neural networks are engaged. Over time, neural networks consolidate resulting in learned behaviors. Learning (i.e., changes in behavior over time) can only occur with active engagement, positive reinforcement, trial and error, repetition and practice. For new learning to occur these conditions must be satisfied. Luckily, all humans possess the innate capacity to learning and emotionally grow across their life course. Thus, your vision for a world more responsive to human suffering will occur when we create collaborative, social networks that will repeatedly and positively reinforce the change we want to see in this world.Katherine Sullivan, CEO & Founder of BTL Health, Inc a California Benefit-Corporation thanks to you.
